GuariniGrad Dialogues: Building Community Through Conversation

GuariniGrad Dialogues are a series of events designed to bring students, postdocs, and faculty together in informal settings to foster empathy, understanding, and a deeper sense of community. By creating spaces where differing views, perspectives, and circumstances can be shared and appreciated, these dialogues aim to strengthen connections within the Dartmouth community and foster a sense of belonging.

Guarini Baker Tower Tour
Experience Dartmouth from a new vantage point with a guided tour of Baker Tower.

Participants should be prepared for a physically demanding experience and should be comfortable with heights.
